Embraer has delivered the 50th E195-E2 aircraft to Porter Airlines, marking a major milestone in one of North America's most dynamic fleet expansions. Since receiving its first E2 jet in December 2022, Porter set out to reshape travel across North America and set a new standard for passenger experience. Porter has firm orders for 75 aircraft, with purchase rights for an additional 25, potentially bringing its fleet up to 100 E2s.
The E195-E2 has enabled Porter's impressive network expansion across Canada, the U.S., and now the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America. The airline's bold strategy includes extending its elevated economy experience into southern vacation sunshine markets; launching 13 new routes to five popular destinations this season - Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Nassau, Grand Cayman, and Liberia (Costa Rica) - from Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Hamilton airports. With the addition of the 50th E2, Porter will continue exploring opportunities to increase capacity across its growing network.
The E195-E 2 is the largest and most advanced member of Embraer's E-Jets E2 family. It delivers up to 29% lower fuel burn compared to first-generation E-Jets, a range of 3,000 nautical miles (~5,556 km), enabling nonstop operations across North America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Designed for high-frequency routes, the E195-E2 combines outstanding economics, the quietest cabin, 4th-gen fly-by-wire avionics, a modern passenger environment featuring onboard Wi-Fi and seatback power - and no middle seats.
Porter supplements the aircraft's capabilities with a category-leading inflight offering. The airline's award-winning passenger experience is available to everyone onboard on a complimentary basis, including wine and beer service in glassware, premium snacks and streaming-quality Wi-Fi. Porter's rapid fleet growth and network expansion underscore its transformation into a major player in North American aviation.
With a reputation for delivering a premium flying experience, Porter is redefining travel for millions of passengers.
